"Santiago pitched headlong from the teocalli."
—Swinburne.
—Swinburne.
As I had carried the vision of her into that dim land of nothingness, so
her dear eyes were the first thing which greeted my returning
consciousness. I was aware of a greater weakness than I thought possible
for a man to feel, as if I had been an invalid for months, but the life in
me, faint though it was, was sound and normal, caused by no artificial
stimulation. I smiled up at my girl and murmured weakly:
"Throw away your dagger, little Zuleika; I'm going to live."
She screamed and fell on her knees beside me, weeping and laughing at
the same time. Women are strange beings, of mixed and powerful
emotions, truly.
Gordon entered and grasped the hand which I could not lift from the bed.
"You're a case for an ordinary human physician now, Costigan," he said.
"Even a layman like myself can tell that. For the first time since I've
known you, the look in your eyes is entirely sane. You look like a man
who has had a complete nervous breakdown, and needs about a year of
rest and quiet. Great heavens, man, you've been through enough, outside
your dope experience, to last you a lifetime."
"Tell me first," said I: "Was Kathulos killed in the explosion?"
"I don't know," answered Gordon somberly. "Apparently the entire
system of subterranean passages was destroyed. I know my last bullet—
the last bullet that was in the revolver which I wrested from one of my
attackers—found its mark in the Master's body, but whether he died from
the wound, or whether a bullet can hurt him, I do not know. And whether
in his death agonies he ignited the tons and tons of high explosives
which were stored in the corridors, or whether the negroes did it
unintentionally, we shall never know.
"My God, Costigan, did you ever see such a honeycomb? And we know
not how many miles in either direction the passages reached. Even now
Scotland Yard men are combing the subways and basements of the town
for secret openings. All known openings, such as the one through which
we came and the one in Soho 48, were blocked by falling walls. The
office building was simply blown to atoms."
"What about the men who raided Soho 48?"
"The door in the library wall had been closed. They found the Chinaman
you killed, but searched the house without avail. Lucky for them, too,
else they had doubtless been in the tunnels when the explosion came, and
perished with the hundreds of negroes who must have died then."
"Every negro in London must have been there."
"I dare say. Most of them are voodoo worshipers at heart and the power
the Master wielded was incredible. They died, but what of him? Was he
blown to atoms by the stuff which he had secretly stored, or crushed
when the stone walls crumbled and the ceilings came thundering down?"
"There is no way to search among those subterranean ruins, I suppose?"
"None whatever. When the walls caved in, the tons of earth upheld by
the ceilings also came crashing down, filling the corridors with dirt and
broken stone, blocking them forever. And on the surface of the earth, the
houses which the vibration shook down were heaped high in utter ruins.
What happened in those terrible corridors must remain forever a
mystery."
